Crested Butte Filmmaker Panel - Ukraine Under Fire and Why We Went

from Screenplaying · host Western Colorado University Graduate Program in Creative Writing, The Crested Butte Film Festival

What is it like to film in a war zone? Documentary filmmakers Jordan Campbell (Ukraine Under Fire) and Ashley Matkowsky (Why We Went) offer riveting and heartfelt commentary on their role as filmmakers capturing images, triumphs and tragedies from the war in Ukraine. Moderated by documentarian T.C. Johnstone (Rising from the Ashes) at the 15th annual Crested Butte Film Festival, this unflinching panel discussion opens into a world few of us have experienced, and offers a dialogue with the audience, whose questions fuel more than half of the hour-long event.  James Napoli, Director of Screenwriting at the Graduate Program in Creative Writing at Wesern Colorado University introduces this special episode, and provides narration to supply listeners with the audience questions, which were "off mic" during the panel.  Thank you to our audio engineer Mike Janowski for his work on making this material podcast-ready.  And thank you as always for listening to "Screenplaying."
